I have started a new job in Wenzhou. I am looking forward to learning a lot about China at a moment in time which is pivotal for China and in which China is pivotal for the world.

Okay, so you don't trust the death count by the Gaza Ministry of Health? What then do other estimates say how many people died? Well, as reported by the Economist, most likely between 1.5x and 2x what the Gaza Ministry of Health estimates. Meaning, up to 5% of the strip's total population!

My mom calls me a traveling salesman for words. I am on the way from Erbil to Preston, where we launch "A Transdisciplinary Study of Global Mobilities: Identities on the Move" tomorrow. The event is hybrid. I hope to see you there!

Looks like the new @degruyterbrill.bsky.social website went live. I feel it looks a bit cluttered, but the colour theme works well and highlighting the imprints is a good idea. Funny though that the Brill books aren't yet in the database.

Habibty @hendaly.bsky.social, today we celebrate our 10-year "tin" wedding anniversary. It's been the most amazing ten years during which we lived in six countries together and you additionally spent a semester in Germany.

Apparently people in Cairo are now decorating whole buildings with LED lights (for Ramadan?) — I think this might be Araba wa Nus, but I am not entirely sure.
